Hey, since my current pc is going for a check in next week, i've been preparing myself for the potential bad news from the check in.
Current build going for a check in due to issues i failed to fix:
-asrock xtreme 6 z77 ***
-asus rog strix factory oc 1080 ti
-i7 3770k stock ***
-16gb ddr3 4x4 1600 mhz ***
-corsair 780t graphite case ***
-noctua nh d9l cooler
-nox urano vx 750w powersupply ***
***Any of these components is being faulty and not allowing pc to boot (keeps restarting every few seconds)
So i'm somewhat mentalized for the worst outcome. If ram/cpu/mobo is the problem, i'll have to replace hardware and all of these would have to go unless i searched for old replacements that are in used condition, which is kinda risky and pointless to invest in, unless the cheapest solution but still risky nonetheless.
So my idea to replace these 3 components, if it comes to that, would be something like this:
-asrock b450m pro4 mobo (69,90€);
-amd ryzen 5 5600g (239,90€);
-2x16 gb corsair vengeance rgb pro ram, ddr4 3200 mhz, cl15 (157,50€).
My limit is 500€ max, doesn't mean i want to hit 500€ exactly, the less i spend the better. I don't plan on overclocking anything with this new stuff and my idea was to reuse everything else (Power supply, cooler, case, gpu, if they are in working condition). I've oc'd my 3770k a bit but usually brought it down to stock sometime later, I'm the kind of guy that fears shortening the lifespan of things from oc'ing. Also messed a bit with the gpu once but reverted to factory clock since it already had a factory OC. I was eyeing an I5-10400/11400/12400 initially, i can save some extra money if i went intel but the thing is, i noticed that the vega integrated graphics card is so much better than the one intel offers for gaming. This is a last case scenario if my gpu ends up dieing, the vega integrated unit is more reliable for games from what i have seen. And well the ryzen consumes less.energy than some of those intel cpus on heavy load, electricity is expensive in my country ( we are usually in the top 5 most expensive countries for electricity bills)
Was also planning to buy a wifi dongle, incase i want to rearrange my gaming room a bit. If people want to search for better options and suggest, i used a local online store in my country called pcdiga(.com), not sure if people from other regions would get different prices, maybe through vpn you could see the same prices as me? Idk. Country is portugal if people want to go through that extra step. The reason i say this is because 99% the time people recommend me stuff, the prices from one region to mine are different in absurd levels.
Problem with my current build, beware long posts: https://forums.tomshardware.com/thr...gin-on-windows-startup.3748255/#post-22600902
